Trump modeling agency - sex trafficking? I know sounds crazy but...

[Madam45for2923]

This would explain so much about Donald.

"We All Knew About the Trafficking"-The Untold Story of Trump Model Management (Part 1)


Back in July of this year, an article written by author Michael Gross about Trump’s modeling company was posted on the Daily Beast. It didn’t receive much fanfare, nor did these tweets-but lets take a look at them for a moment-

@harrysiegel
I've worked with Trump Models "Casting" we all knew of the trafficking

Wade Turnbull (@Wade_Turnbull) July 19, 2016
Asked to explain further, he stated the following:

@harrysiegel
For wealthy businessmen, Buying & selling fake contracts, Unfortunately many model agencies have the same business model

Wade Turnbull (@Wade_Turnbull) July 19, 2016
@harrysiegel
They'd ship in models, Eastern Euro's who had absolutely no chance of working in NYC. It becomes a debt slavery or fresh meat

Wade Turnbull (@Wade_Turnbull) July 19, 2016

These Tweets came from the account of Wade Turnbull. His remarks echo the sentiments of many who have worked with Trump Model Management. Turnbulls remarks are notable in particular because of their timing-They were made a full two months before the Mother Jones article outlining the immigration fraud, financial exploitation and generally deplorable working conditions at Trump’s agency were made public.

It should also be noted that Mr. Turnbull, judging by his Twitter feed, is no fan of Hillary Clinton. This is simply his impression, based on his experience working with this particular agency. And he is far from alone in his views.

About a month ago I came across a Mother Jones article about Trump’s modeling agency and its treatment of a young, largely immigrant workforce. The story was, in a way the height of irony-here was a man who built an entire campaign on his hard-line stance against immigrants, and all the while his business was committing full-scale immigration fraud. But as I read on, I was struck by how much this all resembled the business model of sex trafficking-something I have researched and written about extensively.

Excerpt:

To my astonishment the story disappeared into the ether of the 24/7 news cycle and seemed to be all but forgotten within a week, if that. Barbara Boxer initiated a senate inquiry, which I have been told is now underway. MJ did a short follow up, noting that Trump Models only response was to point out that the story was from “many many years ago” (it actually wasn’t)


Melania Trump sued a relatively unknown Canadian blogger and the Daily Mail over a related story, but otherwise disappeared from public view amid questions about her own strange and inconsistent account of her path to citizenship. And even as Trump ramped up his scathing rhetoric about undocumented immigrants, not one reporter bothered to challenge him on how he squared those public pronouncements with his business practices. Not one reporter asked him how much of his own purported fortune was made on the backs of undocumented immigrants, from his Polish demolition crews to his imported child models, and why that kind of thing was acceptable. The universe basically gave a collective shrug, and moved on.

This OP in DU was almost ignored in October 2016:

DailyKos BLOCKBUSTER Diary: "We all knew about the trafficking- The Untold Story of Trump Model Mgt"

link:http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/10/6/1578544/-The-Untold-Story-of-Trump-Model-Management-A-Daily-Kos-Exclusive-Part-1|

The diary in the link is probably the bravest and most important diary by a citizen journalist I've ever read.

It's the longform style of writing like in Rolling Stone or The New Yorker, with a narrative type of style that connects people, associations and events over a period of time.

I don't even have the words to express just how engrossing this diary/investigative report is and how I felt a sick, sick brick of dread and import and outrage and "ick" begin to form in my stomach from the very first paragraph.

Be prepared to be pulled in and to spend at least an hour reading this VERY LONG piece of journalism and the comments over there below it.

The first part is the backstory on modelling agencies, the dark side of that industry, and starts making connections between very rich and powerful men, and their financial and physical exploitation of young girls and women, including debt-slavery, molestation and assault.

Part II will apparently be more connections and get more into Trump Model Management, the author's conversations with Trump Models, human trafficking, and is apparently quite explosive and well-resourced.

3. No wonder he is so worried. nt

[Madam45for2923]

5. and accusing HRC of doing the same (Pizza-gate) was PROJECTION!

We should've known there was a reason for that weird accusation.

[MrsCoffee]

13. Seems like everything Trump says is projection. Every accusation is an admission of guilt.

I remember a tweet a couple months ago from someone with intel connections saying that Trump would die in jail. I really hope they get him before he has a heart attack.

I want him to rot for years, not get the easy way out.

[Madam45for2923]

18. He cannot pardon State crimes in State courts like NY, NJ, etc...

So yeah he & all his surrounding MAGGOTTS could possibly end in jail sooner or later.

[Danascot]

25. I was going to make a snarky comment about Pizzagate

but seriously, the Pizzagate accusation involved trafficked children and models are often underage so if anything the story could get even worse.

Plus there's that dropped lawsuit where the accuser said she was raped by Trump at a party thrown by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 13.

[flibbitygiblets]

4. One of the more frustrating dropped stories I've seen

I read a couple related articles last year, and the Melania story, and I'm not happy about how that entire thread was dropped.

[Madam45for2923]

6. Unbelievable! Just unbelievable.

Know that Donald's lawyer went around viciously threatening people that touched on the subject.

And this writer, where is she?

[GreenEyedLefty]

20. A perfunctory search seems to show that she is alive and well.

[Madam45for2923]

21. Oh very good! Could you share? I searched yesterday for a couple hours but could not find her!

[GreenEyedLefty]

23. Google the name

And look at the second result.

[Madam45for2923]

27. Hmmm? The facebook? Don't see anythng new there, just her resume type info

Are you talking about the facebook entry? Not seeing anything new there.

[GreenEyedLefty]

29. Yep her FB profile. It's her.

Just a guess: she is a freelancer and still writing but it hasn't been picked up nationally.

[Madam45for2923]

35. I don't see recent entries in the facebook? Not sure

[Madam45for2923]

7. How do you spell KOMPROMAT ??

[AngryAmish]

8. A model/actress if they choose can make a very good living as a prostitute.

Many do including many household names.

[Not Ruth]

12. Which household names?

[AngryAmish]

15. Look up Cannes and yachts.

Or yachting and actresses generally.

[Not Ruth]

24. Kendall Jenner?

http://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-life/people-parties/in-pictures-celebrities-on-yachts-at-cannes-film-festival-2017--33649

[AngryAmish]

30. That seems to be a reasonable list.

But actresses/prostitutes have been going on forever. Everyone has heard of the casting couch.

Show business is a dirty business. I would never allow my kids to do so. There are also a ton of pedophiles in show business.

[Not Ruth]

34. A friend's child was in (redacted) at 10 years old

And she would disagree. Probably that most intelligent, grounded, well traveled and over achieving 10 year old that you will ever meet.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

73. That is mostly an urban legend

Actors, actresses and musicians merely get better invitations than most people.

[Stuart G]

9. k and r .If this can be proven, that Trump was a "sex trafficer" , he is gone "soon"

[Madam45for2923]

38. Especially some of them minors! And rumors one girl "Maria" disappeared!?? WTF.

[bucolic_frolic]

66. Would they even let this subject out in public? The MSM I mean?

Certain things are not discussed. National Security and all. Or does anything
go after the Clinton impeachment?

[LiberalLovinLug]

68. Are you really confidant of that?

As long as his brainwashed sheeple still support him with a mix of those who believe hate media when they will no doubt push that it's all a fake news attack on their hero, together with the rest that just don't give a fuck, the house and senate GOP don't have to do a damn thing.

I now believe him when he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and he'd lose no support

Googling 'New York' 'Russian' 'escort agency' 'busted' has several hits over the last 20 years

As to whether there are any connections relevant to politics, that is for someone with more
time and zeal to decide

for example:

14. The Religious wRong won't mind.

Because trump is on jesus' side now and wouldn't do that any more. Nevermind that even if true, he's never done a damn thing to make amends except marry what might be one of them.

[keithbvadu2]

16. I've known Jeff (Epstein) for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002.

“I've known Jeff (Epstein) for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

[LS_Editor]

17. Crazy? How about plausible? Trump is a reprehensible thing.

[Madam45for2923]

19. Yes, and it would explain so much!

[MineralMan]

22. The usual language regarding this from the agencies is:

"We supply beautiful young women, our models, for events at our stated rates. Each of them is an individual. What they do during those events and afterward is completely up to them. Each of our models makes her own personal decisions."

[d_r]

26. And the evalicals

Adore him

[JI7]

28. I don't think it sounds crazy at all and have been wondering

About this and whether he had connections to this through any of his businesses

[NightWatcher]

31. trump projects. Has anyone checked the basement of his favorite pizza place?

Everything he has accused Hillary of, he has done.

[Sabrinao]

32. Part 2 to her story is missing as well

Her email is [e-mail]... has anyone been in contact with her?

[Madam45for2923]

36. Someone above is saying that they see recent entries in her facebook but I don't see any????

Am I missing something? https://www.facebook.com/TreeClimbingGirl

Her name is Rebecca Mesle (Berry is maiden name). Husband Kenneth Mesle also nothing recent.


Here her twitter: https://twitter.com/swedjewfish?lang=en

33. RICO examination here, but what happened

to political money laundering, and how many officeholders were involved?

This is almost a footnote from yesteryear

[mopinko]

37. i've been saying that from jump street.

and i have no doubt that melania did more than "soft porn". cheato likely bought up her "work" before he married her.

the whole thing fits.

[Madam45for2923]

40. No wonder they went after -as in suing- blogger who referred to her "career"

[mopinko]

41. yup. the least that could happen is that her soft porn shots would get more play.

or more would surface.
i firmly believe she met him as an escort. she wasnt w his agency, but many are like that.
and let us not forget about jane doe, who said she was lured in to work as a prostitute by promises of a modeling career.

[Gothmog]

39. Where will trump find his next wife?

43. Thank you for posting this. No fu***** way this creep whose buddy was a pedo is clean.

Tired of the abuse of women and children. Tired of the silence.

I don't think the Kremlin has a pee-pee tape. I think they have something worse.

[Alice11111]

52. Who cares about pee pee tape? Trafficking in young girls,

using them for their wild parties...off with their heads, both kinds.

[Bradical79]

71. They probably wouldn't be mutually exclusive

Knowing his tastes, such a recording would probably overlap with this sort of thing

[58Sunliner]

72. No they wouldn't, under-age trafficked abuse survivors peeing

on a bed for douche bag's amusement.

[AllyCat]

55. That's what I think it is too.

I think even the Fundies would have a hard time supporting 45 if they knew this.

[volstork]

61. I think you are right.

THIS would be a mushroom cloud.

[broadcaster90210]

44. Nothing sounds crazy when it comes to Trump.

nt

[CakeGrrl]

46. That explains the "Pizzagate" projection.

From the book of Goebbels once again: Anything they accuse Clintons, Obama, etc. of doing is some variant of what THEY are actually doing.

Edit: I see that was noted up above!

I completely believe this about the 'Modeling Agency'. Trump may be better off leaving Mueller in place.

[Madam45for2923]

50. I agree. Also it explains IMO him walking in Ms.Teen Universe locker rooms.

[AllyCat]

56. Any time they accuse someone else of doing something horrible, they are transferring

[Achilleaze]

47. The Republican family values role model

Comrade casino, also known as the Republican Draft Dodger in chief, clearly has a cesspool for a soul. It's beyond me or any other decent human being, to understand why Republicans submissively worship and follow him. He has no honor

[FuzzyRabbit]

48. If you are a decent person the article in Mother Jones will make your stomach turn.

I read it several months ago, and it still haunts me, especially the part about Trump signing his daughter Ivanka to his agency.

It raises in my mind questions about Trump's relationship with his daughter when she was a teenager.

[AllyCat]

57. We see what his relationship is now. And it is icky.

[Homer Wells]

49. KICK for exposure

[dchill]

53. K&R.

[AllyCat]

54. Well, it is slowly cruising around FB now.

Lots of people I really think are so disgusted they turn away hoping it is fake news.

[Madam45for2923]

58. Donald's disgusting ways got no boundaries it seems.

[scarytomcat]

59. another crime

what next?

[DesertRat]

62. Someone should send this to Cindy McCain

She works to end human trafficking.
https://www.mccaininstitute.org/human-trafficking-mission/

She often tweets on the subject. @cindymccain

[bucolic_frolic]

63. Arthur Conan Doyle

knew the London criminal world. The really big fish, such as Professor Moriarty, run everything with no fingerprints.
The question is, how did he do it? Payoff the politicians, pay well for favors and silence, bring discipline to
the masses to keep them in line, rake in the money.

Robert Ludlum, in his book Apocalypse Watch as I recall, has a page in there where someone testifies that
the country is being sold - the right get their agenda, the mafia get the profits.

Fiction is stranger than fiction.

[Madam45for2923]

64. Remember that Donald's grandpa and great-grandpa ran prostitution establishments.

[AllyCat]

67. Really? I have not heard this.

On edit: now I have. Was unable to finish reading the full article. Ugh.

[Amaryllis]

65. Doesn't sound crazy. What would sound crazy after reading those articles is if it was NOT going on.

[inanna]

69. Kick!

Great post - thanks.

Very long read, but worth it.

[area51]

70. Kick. n/t

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

74. While I wouldn't anything past Trump, most American agencies are scrupulously careful

All it takes is one immigration officer at JFK getting suspicious about one woman and they're in for a world of bureaucratic or criminal hurt. The disreputable ones involved in porn and prostitution are mostly on the west coast and get their victims to use tourist visas.
